Shabbat Shiur

This class with David Meir-Levi will clarify the Torah’s definition of Evil; review each of the all-too-many divine genocides and similar mass punishments in Jewish Scripture; and do a brief survey of the ways in which the authors of the relevant Torah texts, the authors of rabbinic commentary, and the authors of medieval commentary dealt with their own discomforts with the immorality of God’s judgments.
